Frequently Asked Questions

1. How many times a week do classes run?

Classes run once a week in session seasons for 9-12 weeks. We do offer class tuition breaks for taking more than one class and sibling discounts. You must register for the full session as our classes progress over the session to learn the dance routine for the end of session performance (optional). We allow punch cards and drop-in classes for non beginning level classes. 

2. What if I miss a class?

No problem!  Missed classes can be made up in any same level class at your location of choice within the same session. Please notify the office of your absence or schedule the absence through the JackRabbit portal. Makeups can also be scheduled through the portal. If you cannot schedule a makeup before the end of the session you may request a refund for missed classes. 

3. What if my schedule changes or I need to drop the class?

We understand schedules change as life happens. If another class at the same location or a different location has openings we can transfer classes. If you need to drop the class you may receive a credit on your account to use for future classes for you or your child or you may receive a refund for any classes left 30 days from your drop notice. 

4. How do I choose the right dance style?

We offer one free trial per class so you or your child can find the style of dance that is most exciting.  All of our beginning level classes are for anyone who has never taken a dance class and start at an easy to follow pace. 

5. Do I stay and watch or leave while my child is in class?

Totally your call. We have comfortable waiting rooms with large observation windows if you would like to stay and watch your child, as well as a quiet waiting room in our Greenwood office building if you would like quiet space to wait. You can also leave to run an errand, grab a coffee, etc. Your child is in good hands.
